Cohen Blocked The U.S. hedge fund manager Steven Cohen, who was banned for two years by the SEC over insider trading, wants to get back into Europe by reopening his fund to investors in the U.K. However, the British Financial Conduct Authority is reportedly blocking him on the basis that he is not "fit and proper" to manage other people's money there again.

Good!, they should also ban George Soros. Soros was convicted in 2002 by France for insider trading of Soc Gen shares. http://www.businessinsider.com/george-soros-insider-trading-conviction-2011-10?IR=T

Correct me if im wrong but i dont think the UK has actually banned Soros? My post above was just a suggestion that they do so.
Soros's fund is now a private family fund. The business insider story is correct regarding Soros's appeal in 2011, but not entirely correct regarding what lead up to the eventual appeal. French regulators did go after Soros, and he was cleared of wrong doing in regard to his Société Générale investment.. A few years later a new prosecutor reopened the case and was able to obtain a conviction. French politics appeared to be involved. The best account of the entire episode is available via Wiki. Needless to say, French laws are different than the U.S. laws. It is of interest to note that Soros's eventual conviction, after he had been cleared, was only possible because of a change in the French law two years after his trade in Société Générale. The new law was applied, in his case, retroactively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros#Société_Générale_insider_trade see also https://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/21/...-in-france-on-charges-of-insider-trading.html Also of interest re Soros is this excerpt from the Wiki article on conspiracy theories: "Hungarian-American investor George Soros has been the subject of conspiracy theories since the 1990s. Like many billionaires, Soros has used his wealth to promote various political, social, educational and scientific causes, totaling an estimated $11bn up to 2016. However, theories tend to assert that Soros is in control of a large portion of the world's wealth and governments, and that he secretly funds a large range of persons and organizations for nefarious purposes, such as the American far-left militant group Antifa. Such ideas have been promoted by Bill O'Reilly, Roy Moore, Alex Jones, Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, Breitbart News and cartoonist Ben Garrison. Soros conspiracy theories are sometimes linked to antisemitic conspiracy theories.[56]" I note also that because of Soros's activities aimed at undermining totalitarian governments he has become a persona non grata in these countries and they have made him a target of media disinformation. As a result one has to question the authenticity of nearly everything one reads re Soros.
Media disinformation? Why are you defending him? He is a convicted Insider trader and has admitted himself he helped the Nazis in world war 2. This is Soros in his own words:
